Hoffa's disease was described by Albert Hoffa in 1904, it is rare, benign and unrecognized. Our work corresponds to a retrospective study of 16 cases operated on between 2007 and 2017, correlated with a simple review of the literature. The average age of the patients was 42 years with a predominance of females (M / F = 0.6). MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The treatment was open surgical and consisted of excision of the mass and resection of the PAH, sometimes associated with surgical procedures. The anatomopathological study of the surgical specimens was systematic in all our patients. Over a mean follow-up of 3 years, the outcome was favorable in 87% of cases. A recurrence of osteochondroma has been reported and subsequently resumed.
